Lloyd C. Douglas'

Home for Christmas

Dramatized by Anne Coulter Martens

Directed by David Potter

Lloyd C. Douglas’ Home for Christmas is a wonderful story of a group of people brought together for Christmas and explores the often typical relationship issues seen in most families, providing both humor and a thought-provoking message about the importance of family.

The play centers around the Clayton family whose mother isn’t well and for whom this may be her last Christmas. Bringing everyone back home hasn’t been easy, but the youngest daughter knew it was important, even if Mother wouldn’t let her tell them why. As the various relationships and issues therein are revealed, the importance of family and friends becomes apparent to both the characters and the audience.

“I remember reading this play last year and having it touch me emotionally. The theme of this play is forgiveness and reconciliation and it really shows how lack of communication can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings that can last a lifetime. There are many broken and shattered families within our community, and for them, getting together with relatives at Christmas time can be very painful. I think many people will identify with the Clayton family.” - Michelle Potter, playing Nan

Performance Time:  110 minutes with one 15 minute intermission.
